I have used T-Gel and then every few weeks I use T-Sel which removes all the buildup on your scalp and hair from any hair products - both helped. Am now on a biologic but I still use the T-Sel every few weeks.

Application Tips:
- Lather your head well, cover with a shower cap or plastic bag, let it soak, then rinse and condition.

Always test new products on a small area of your skin first to check for any adverse reactions.
